How to Help
Path to Africa owes its accomplishments to three very important groups - donors, fundraisers and volunteers.
Donations
Donations are essential for PTA to initiate and develop projects. PTA strives for each of its projects to become economically self-sustainable, but the commencement of any project is reliant on the philanthropy of its donors.
PTA’s primary aim is to ensure that all funds go directly to the projects, and that the benefit to Tanzanians from the donations is maximized.
Currently, all donations received are going towards construction costs for Corner Stone Children’s Centre. By end 2010 PTA has fundraised roughly 60% of funds needed to complete the project.
Donations can be made through the PayPal link on this page, or by bank (please contact use for bank transfer details)
Fundraising
A huge amount of our support has come from friends and volunteers carrying out fundraising events at home, through work, school, community organizations or sports clubs.
Fundraising ideas include bake sales, bottle drives, coin drives, raffles at sporting events, organizing charity nights out to a play or comedy club (making commission on tickets), black tie balls, fundraising parties, casino parties, selling holiday cards, bag packing at a local supermarket, or shaving your head!
The following PDF files can be used while fundraising to give information to those interested in supporting the work of PTA. Information sheets on each of the projects can be downloaded and used as handouts at your fundraising events. Updates can be downloaded from the ‘Projects’ section of the website, or you can contact us directly to provide letters etc.
You can make a significant impact on these projects by helping out in this way and your efforts are truly appreciated. For further ideas and information on fundraising please contact PTA directly.
Volunteering
Volunteers are warmly welcome, very much appreciated, and integral to the success of PTA and its sponsored projects. Without volunteers, our projects would not be possible.
Volunteer placements of varying lengths and roles can be arranged with each of the projects. Please see www.hostelhoff.com for information on how to volunteer.
